Objective:To characterize the antimicrobial resistance, resistance machanism and population genetics of Salmonella( S.) Derby in China, preliminarily reveal the population genetic characteristics of S. Derby in China, discover possible transmission patterns or potential transmission pathways, and provide certain reference for strengthening S. disease monitoring and developing prevention and control strategies. Methods:A total of 201 strains of S. Derby from different areas in China were used for the susceptible tests to 16 antibiotics and whole-genome sequencing. Finally, combined with the genome sequences of 134 strains of S. Derby from public databases, 335 strains of S. Derby were used for resistance genotype analysis and multi-locus sequence typing (MLST), and a phylogenetic tree based on the core genome single nucleotide polymorphisms was constructed for evolutionary analysis. Results:The results showed that 201 strains of S. Derby showed resistance to 16 kinds of antibiotics at different levels. The overall resistance rate was 97.51%. The resistance rates to antibiotics varied in S. Derby from different sources (human, animal, and food), the differences were significant (all P<0.05). A total of 38 resistance genes were carried by 335 strains of S. Derby, of which, fosfomycin gene fosA7 was found in all the strains (100.00%) and aminoglycoside genes aac(6')-Iaa accounted for 99.70%. The consistency of resistance genes and phenotypes varied with antibiotics. Except aminoglycosides and chloramphenicol, the consistencies of resistance genes and phenotypes for other antibiotics were high. MLST showed that 334 strains of S. Derby belonged to ST40. Phylogenetic trees indicated the risk for cross-infection between animal and human, food and human, and the possibility of long-distance interprovincial transmission of the bacteria by animal, to which further epidemiological studies are needed. Conclusions:The drug resistance of S. Derby is serious in China and the risk for cross-transmission between human and animal or food exists. It is necessary to establish and strengthen the comprehensive surveillance and risk assessment to prevent the spread of antibiotic resistant strains or elements through animal, food and human chains.

Objective:To establish a matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) assay for the identification of common Salmonella serotypes and provide etiology evidence for the early precise treatment of salmonellosis. Methods:A total of 500 strains were collected from different regions and sources and five predominant Salmonella serotypes ( Salmonella Typhi , Salmonella Paratyphi A , Salmonella Typhimurium , Salmonella Enteritidis , and Salmonella Indiana) of each strain was identified by agglutination test and whole-genome sequencing. The protein complex of the strains was extracted by using optimized pretreatment method to establish the fingerprint database of peptides for each Salmonella serotype. The new serotyping assays were established by using different modules based on the mass spectra database. Additional 155 strains with specified serotypes and variant sources were used to test and evaluate the accuracy of the new typing assays. Results:Five MALDI-TOF MS databases were established, and two new serotyping assays were established via peptide fingerprint mapping/matching and machine learning of the neuronal convolutional network respectively based on the databases. The results showed that the fingerprint matching approach could quickly identify five common Salmonella serotypes in clinical practice compared with the machine learning method, the accuracy of fingerprint matching assay to identify five Salmonella serotypes reached 100.00% and the serotyping can be conducted within a short time (15-20 minutes) and had a good reproducibility, while the machine learning method could not completely identify these serotypes. Moreover the sensitivity and specificity of fingerprint matching assay were all 100.00% respectively, while they were only 82.23% and 95.81% for machine learning method. Conclusion:The established Salmonella serotyping assay based on MALDI-TOF MS in this study can easily, rapidly and accurately identify different serotypes of Salmonella.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of postpartum hemorrhage in parturients undergoing vaginal delivery with a second child and establish a risk prediction model.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 2 500 parturients undergoing vaginal delivery with a second child who underwent regular prenatal examinations at Peking University Third Hospital from July 2019 to March 2023 were selected as the research objects. According to the amount of blood loss, parturients with blood loss greater than or equal to 500 ml within 24 hours after delivery were selected as the case group ( n=278), while parturients with blood loss less than 500 ml within 24 hours after delivery in the same period were selected as the control group ( n=2 222). Univariate analysis and binomial Logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of postpartum hemorrhage in parturients with vaginal delivery with a second child. Based on the selected risk factors, a nomogram prediction model was established using R software, and the consistency of the model was tested. Results:The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage in 2 500 parturients undergoing vaginal delivery with a second child was 11.12% (278/2 500). Binomial Logistic regression analysis showed that in in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer, pre-delivery body mass index, lateral perineal incision, neonatal weight, placenta previa, placenta implantation and manual extraction of placenta were the influencing factors for postpartum hemorrhage in parturients undergoing vaginal delivery with a second child ( P<0.05). According to the influencing factors, a nomogram model was established to predict the probability of postpartum hemorrhage in women who gave birth to a second child. The C- index of the prediction model was 0.706, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.706, and the χ 2 value of the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test was 7.720 ( P=0.461) . Conclusions:In vitro fertilization embryo transfer, pre-delivery body mass index, perineal lateral resection, neonatal weight, placenta previa, placental implantation and manual extraction of placenta are risk factors for postpartum hemorrhage in parturients undergoing vaginal delivery for a second child. The prediction model constructed based on risk factors has certain accuracy and clinical value for predicting postpartum hemorrhage in parturients with vaginal delivery of a second child.

Objective:To investigate the effects of different feeding formulas on the feeding and growth and metabolism of premature infants in the early postnatal period.Methods:Eligible premature infants with the gestational age of ≤ 34 weeks hospitalized from March 2023 to March 2024 were selected as per inclusion criteria, excluding those with congenital metabolic diseases, severe congenital heart disease and developmental malformations of digestive tract. According to the feeding formulas within 2 weeks after birth, premature infants were divided into three groups, namely donor human milk (DHM) group, preterm formula (PF) group and extensively hydrolyzed formula (eHF) group. The characteristics of premature infants, perinatal condition, feeding formulas, milk intake on the 7th and 14th day, the time to the daily milk intake of 120ml/kg and 150ml/kg respectively, the time on parenteral nutrition, the length of hospitalization, feeding intolerance, cholestasis, extrauterine growth retardation and biochemical metabolic indexes at 7 days, 14 days and discharge were collected. The differences of feeding and biochemical metabolic parameters were compared across the three groups.Results:A total of 108 cases were enrolled ,of whom 39 were in DHM group, 37 in PF group and 32 in eHF group. There was no significant difference in gestational age, birth weight, head circumference and maternal complications across the three groups. The milk intake in the DHM group was (50.7±29.1) ml/(kg·d) on the 7th day, compared with (34.2±27.3) ml/(kg·d) in PF group ( P=0.031), and (103.1±36.7) ml/(kg·d) on the 14th day, compared with (73.9±39.2) ml/(kg·d) in the PF group. Compared with the PF group, the DHM group reached the daily milk intake of 120 ml/(kg·d) earlier [(18.5±10.4) days vs. (24.1±10.3) days, P=0.020], had shorter duration of parenteral nutrition [(17.9±10.9) days vs. (23.2±11.2) days, P=0.042], and lower incidence of feeding intolerance (28.2% vs. 48.6%). The length of hospitalization in DHM group was shorter than that in PF group [(33.8±15.5) days vs. (37.8±17.6) days], but there was no significant difference ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference between the DHM group and the eHF group in terms of the milk intake on the 7th and 14th day, the time to the daily milk intake of 120 ml/(kg·d), the time on parenteral nutrition, the length of hospitalization and feeding intolerance. At 1 and 2 weeks after birth, alkaline phosphatase in DHM group was higher than that in PF group and eHF group ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in biochemical nutritional metabolism parameters (hemoglobin, urea nitrogen, albumin, prealbumin, alkaline phosphatase and total bile acid) across the three groups at discharge( P>0.05). Conclusion:Early use of DHM in premature infants is better tolerated than PF and can help achieve complete enteral nutrition earlier and shorten the use of parenteral nutrition, while not affecting the growth and development of premature infants.
